An estate gate is the first impression of the home.

Why Venice homeowners pick Red Stag
Three reasons our gates work is different in Venice.
Structural steel core.
Every gate over 8 feet uses a structural steel armature engineered to take 100+ mph wind load and 20 years of daily cycles. The hardwood is cladding — the structure is steel.
Hidden hardware, integrated controls.
Pivot, sliding, and bi-fold mechanisms with magnetic latches, biometric or keypad access, and full smart-home integration. No exposed hinges, no surface-mount controllers.
Designed to read with the architecture.
Estate gates are an architectural element, not an accessory. We collaborate with your architect (or design from scratch) to make the gate a continuation of the perimeter wall — not a bolt-on.
Venice build context
What's specific about gates in Venice.
An estate gate is the first impression of the home. We build pivot, sliding, and bi-fold gates with structural steel cores, Cumaru or Ipe cladding, and integrated biometric or app-based controls — designed to read as a continuation of your perimeter wall, not a bolt-on. Every gate is engineered for 100+ mph wind load and 20 years of daily cycles. In Venice specifically, the build context is different from a generic LA project. Architecturally adventurous beach town. Walk-street cottages, the Canals district, and an aggressive contemporary tear-down market east of Lincoln. That changes what a gates project looks like — both in spec and in process.
Architecture in Venice runs restored craftsman, walk-street modernism, contemporary glass cubes by marmol radziner / daly genik / kovac, and the still-iconic original frank gehry residences. — and the gates we deliver is calibrated to read with the architecture, not against it. We've completed gates projects across 90291, 90292 and inside the major HOA districts: Venice Stakeholders Association, Venice Canals Association, Penmar Neighborhood. Coastal Commission review applies to most of Venice west of Lincoln. Walk-street setbacks are tight; many fence projects require neighbor co-signoff.
